The Math Behind Plot Loan EMI & Math Calculator
When you take a loan, banks calculate your Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) using the reducing balance method. Understanding the exact breakdown of your principal and interest over the tenure helps you make informed financial decisions.
1. Lower LTV Margins
Unlike home loans where banks fund 80-90%, plot loans are heavily restricted. Banks usually only fund 60-70% of the plot value, meaning you need a massive 30-40% down payment.
2. No Section 24(b) Benefits
The biggest drawback: You DO NOT get any income tax deductions (Sec 80C or Sec 24b) for the EMI paid on a plot loan, unless you construct a house on it.
3. The Construction Clause
Most banks require you to start construction on the plot within 2-3 years. If you hold it purely as an investment, the bank might recall the loan or hike the interest rate.
